Summary

• Added --auto flag for non-interactive installation, perfect for Claude Code
• Smart defaults that make sensible choices without user input
• Additional control flags for specific scenarios

Problem

When installing Code Conductor from Claude Code, the installer would hang on interactive prompts, making the experience frustrating:

• Upgrade/reinstall/cancel choice
• Continue anyway when already at latest version
• Example files prompt
• Auto-commit prompt
• Development environment selection
• Start agent prompt

Claude Code couldn't handle these interactive prompts effectively.

Solution

Added command-line argument parsing with these options:

• --auto / --non-interactive - Run with sensible defaults
• --upgrade - Force upgrade even if already installed
• --reinstall - Force fresh installation
• --force - Continue even when already at latest version
• --skip-examples - Skip copying example configurations
• --skip-commit - Skip auto-committing changes
• --skip-agent-start - Skip starting dev agent
• --help - Show usage information

In auto mode, the installer:

• Defaults to upgrade for existing installations
• Copies examples for new installations
• Auto-commits changes
• Skips agent startup (better for CI environments)
• Provides clear feedback without waiting for input

Usage

# Interactive (default)
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanmac/code-conductor/main/conductor-init.sh)

# Non-interactive (for Claude Code)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanmac/code-conductor/main/conductor-init.sh | bash -s -- --auto

# With specific options
curl -fsSL ... | bash -s -- --auto --upgrade --skip-commit

Test plan

• Bash syntax check passes
• Help command displays correctly
• Documentation updated with new options
• CI checks pass
• Manual testing in various scenarios
